Fort Lillo is a former fortress and a small residential area north of Antwerp on the right bank of the Scheldt. It used to be part of the disappeared municipality of Lillo and is completely surrounded by the port of Antwerp. In 1958 it was added to Antwerp and since the decentralization in 2000 it belongs to the Berendrecht-Zandvliet-Lillo district of the city of Antwerp.
